“Hehe. Yiren and Chuxi have decided on the date for their wedding. It's just ten days from now. I am just here to invite you to attend the wedding,” Qiao Bonian said.
“I have no time for that!” Su Qianxun had never seen a father stranger than this. He was actually asking his daughter to attend the wedding of her ex-fiance and the daughter of his mistress.
“Your mother will also attend this wedding. It is your decision whether to go or not.” Qiao Bonian humphed coldly after he was done speaking. He then waved in dismissal and left.
Su Qianxun frowned. Her mother would actually be attending the wedding of Qiao Yiren and Xia Chuxi?
Could it be because Qiao Bonian was forcing her to?
When Su Qianxun recalled how cold her mother was when she went to see her back then, there was a knot in her heart.
“Jiye, he is gone now. You can put down the knife.” Su Qianxun saw that her brother was still holding the knife. She walked over and carefully took the knife from his hand.
When Su Qianxun put the knife on the coffee table, Su Jiye suddenly turned around and returned to his room.
She got up and looked at her younger brother. Her eyebrows were gently furrowed. Aunt Zhang anxiously said, “Young mistress, since you've returned, stay for the night and keep young master Jiye company. His mood has been low recently.”
Su Qianxun felt a pang in her heart when she heard that. She knew that she had been dealing with too many issues lately. She had no time at all to accompany him. He must be lonely.
When Su Qianxun heard that her younger brother had not eaten anything, she went to the kitchen and cooked him a bowl of noodles. She then brought the noodles over to his room. When she entered the room, Su Jiye was looking at the scenery outside the window in a daz. He did not make a single sound even after he heard her.
“Jiye, I have cooked you some noodles and added your favorite ham and also dried tofu.” Su Qianxun sat down and looked at him.
Su Jiye remained still. Su Qianxun said, “If you don't want to move, then… let me feed you?”
Su Qianxun placed the bowl of noodles on the side table as she was speaking. She held the spoon with one hand and the chopsticks with another hand. She put some noodles onto the spoon to feed Jiye.
“Be good, open your mouth.” Su Qianxun brought the spoon nearer to the side of his lips.
Su Jiye finally averted his gaze from the window. After a long moment, he opened his mouth obediently and started eating the noodles.
Su Qianxun saw that he was willing to eat now and smiled out of joy. Just when she was thinking of picking up another bunch of noodles with the spoon, Su Jiye suddenly grabbed her arm, seemingly agitated. His gaze was locked on the gauze on the back of her hand.
“I was careless and hurt myself. It is nothing, it is not painful anymore,” Su Qianxun quickly explained.
Su Jiye seemed upset as he stared at the back of her hand. Su Qianxun was about to comfort him a little when Su Jiye suddenly took the chopsticks and pulled the bowl over to himself and started eating the noodles on his own.
Su Qianxun watched her little brother gobble the noodles. She reached out and ruffled his hair. Even though her heart ached, she felt relieved at the same time. Even though her younger brother was still autistic, he cared about her
She was very aware that her little brother had worked very hard to battle his own condition. This was why no matter how many difficulties and obstacles she faced outside, she could clench her teeth and weather them all.
She believed that their future would definitely become better and better.
After Su Jiye had eaten the noodles, Su Qianxun asked him to go to the bathroom to wash up. This was when her cell phone rang. It was a call from Long Sijue. She knew that it was because he had waited for her for so long that he became impatient.
Su Qianxun had no choice but to pick up the call. “h.e.l.lo, Ah Jue.”
“Qiao Bonian has left for a long time!” Long Sijue suspected that something was going on.
“I know, but Jiye's mood is not that good now. I'm staying to comfort him for a bit,” Su Qianxun explained.
“I'm in a bad mood too! Come down and comfort me at once!”
